Serious conservatives know that Trump is a charlatan. Congratulations on a bold and honest statement.
I agree, Col. Cats, I also have pondered the possibility that Trump is so blatantly deceitful as to be a spoiler for Hillary, but for some reason, I am convinced of the man's sincere patriotism -- I believe he loves America. I also believe in my heart that my uber-leftist fellow multi-generation California native governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown is a sincere American patriot. He is also sincerely misguided. Trump looks the same to me. I have a hard time attributing such base false motives -- to spoil the race so Hillary can get in -- to him.
On the other hand ... it's not personal, it's business with Trump. So all bets are off. Eight years ago he was praising her to high heaven. Today he's saying she's so corrupt she shouldn't be allowed to run for office. It's not personal, it's business.
For me, the very scariest thing about Trump is that he has so many good people bamboozled into giving him credibility based on a manufactured media brand.
